Black Soldier Fly Larvae (Hermetia illucens) as a Waste Reduction Agent and an Alternative Livestock Feed

Black Soldier Fly or Hermetia illucens is an insect that currently being studied for its characteristics and nutrient content. comes from America which spreads to subtropical tropical regions. BSF larvae could be develop, grow, in a various organic waste media, because their high tolerance pH fluctuation. Some of factors determine the success animal feed are quality content itself. The livestock industry largest component business providing reach 50-70%. important protein. Protein plays role body metabolism, tissue formation, growth rate. This research aimed detect with use as media. Analysis (proximate) includes protein (Kjeldahl method), lipid (Soxhlet carbohydrate, water proximate analysis obtained showed differences each type media average values protein, carbohydrates, fats, respectively, 42.63%, 21.47%, 21.38%. highest element all types growing
